I bought these as a gift for my Fiance and this is what he said, "If you’re looking for a boot that you can dress up or hike in the mountains with look no further. I wanted a pair of boots I could wear to work in the city and wear up the canyons on the weekend. This boot is perfect. Not bulky like a normal hiking boot but very well insulated and has great treading for the snow days in Utah. When I put them on, there was no break in period, super comfy and perfect size. I normally wear a 10.5 but I went with size 10 and they fit perfectly with wool socks. "

Love these boots! Super warm. Wore these out in the below 20 Nevada nights in the mud. Feet stayed dry and warm. They do run super large. I usually buy a 10.5 but bought 10s. They must be made to wear thick socks. Still had tons of room in toe box.
